11 courses with the subject GN, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Basic Mathematics course is designed to enhance critical thinking skills needed to perform mathematical equations in the aviation maintenance field. Areas to be covered: extract roots and raise numbers to a given power, determine areas and volumes of various geometrical shapes, solve ratio, proportion, and percentage WWW.NCI.EDU 2026-2027 CATALOG VOLUME 40 | 82
Students learn to use manufacturers’ publications, including weight and balance records for specific aircraft. The course includes how to locate necessary information to prepare and weigh an aircraft: placement of jacks, use of scales, leveling the aircraft, along with computing moment (weight x arm) and the center of gravity for a specific aircraft. Upon completion the student will understand the hazards of exceeding determined limits and adjustment of cargo or ballast to ensure safe aircraft operations.
Students learn Ohm’s Law as it pertains to series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits and to calculate current, voltage drop, resistance, and wattage of different types of circuits. The course also covers calculating electrical power; determining current carrying capacity of various types of wire; and measuring current, voltage, resistance, continuity, and leakage using voltmeters, amp meters, ohmmeters, and meggers.
The students will learn the theory of AC circuits and how to measure and calculate inductance and capacitance in various circuits. Students will also learn about transformers, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and other solid-state devices. Furthermore, they will learn how to troubleshoot using electrical schematics.
The students learn the classification of threads, washers, nuts, screws, bolts, and other types of aircraft fasteners and safe tying devices. Lab projects include the proper use of hardware, swaging of cable ends and safety wire methods. The course also introduces non-destructive inspection (NDI) of aircraft components and structures.
This course introduces the students to the fabrication and installation of rigid and flexible fluid lines and fittings. Hand bending, single and double flaring, beading, and filing is discussed as well as demonstrated. Construction, installation, and pressure testing of both rigid and flexible fluid lines on a working system. How to identify different types of corrosion found in aircraft, to include intergranular, stress, fretting WWW.NCI.EDU 2026-2027 CATALOG VOLUME 40 | 83
Students learn to read, interpret, and draw schematic diagrams, drawings, and symbols, related to aviation maintenance, such as sketches of repairs, alterations, blueprint information, charts, and graphs.
This course introduces the students to the fundamental and practical skills of aircraft servicing, including fueling equipment, fuel loading, octane selection, safety precaution, external power source and ground support equipment. Operational procedures and hand signals for communications are performed. Also included is fire extinguisher selection and proper use, along with connecting and operating external hydraulic sources. Aircraft taxiing, parking, and tie-down are covered. Students are instructed in and perform aircraft starting, operating, and shutdown procedures.
This course develops the student’s fundamental knowledge on federal regulations governing the issuance, duration, experience, and limitations of maintenance technician certificates. This includes Inspection Authorization to classify aircraft repairs and alterations, as well as individual and repair station legal and ethical responsibilities under FAA / US government regulations.
This course develops the student’s fundamental knowledge of reading; comprehending and applying information contained in federal aviation and manufacturers’ aircraft specifications, data sheets, manuals, publications, and related Federal Aviation Regulations. Instruction includes identification of government regulations governing Airworthiness Directives, advisory material selection and use of technical data.
This course is recommended to be taken in the last block of general instruction, detailing how the collective general curriculum interacts as a whole within the aviation maintenance field. (i.e., electricity, drawings, materials, and processes).
